Firefox supportforum

somehow i found old firefox history and files and when i tried re-add a profile history got ERASED!!!!!!!! is there a way to get history back?????? (files are from 2017)

Hello,

I am wondering what if anything regarding settings, customization, data, etc is likely to break if I perform this update? THis has happened in the past and is why I turned auto update off. Should any intermediate updates be done to stepover/convert any of the data structures to a newer format?

Thanks, Steve

I just started getting "403 Forbidden" when trying to access dexterlive.com from Firefox running on a Windows 7 PC. It's been working for the last 5 years. I tried with Chrome. It works fine. It also works fine on Firefox running on my Android phone. What's happened to Firefox on the PC?

Have been asking this question for three years now. ANY PROGRESS ON KILLING FLOATING VIDEOS ??? Addons not capable of ding such. Config not capable of doing such... What is capable of doing such ?

I am unable to get complete article in Wall Street Journal. No problem with Chrome. Have latest version Firefox and problem just started. I load WSJ, then click on article and only 3 lines show. I am WSJ subscriber and tech there said I need to contact Mozilla as Firefox is problem after Chrome worked OK. Thanks- Doug K.

I accidently clicked "forget about this site" to a site i didn't want to and now everything i ever visited on the site got deleted from my history. How can i bring back and be able to see what i visited on the site in my history again ?

About 2 or 3 updates ago...after the update I can not clear all my web browsing history. I have my homepage set to Firefox's " about:preferences#privacy " I usually clear all the ' stored cookies, site data ' through the " Clear Data' button. Have it set to clear ALL data. Also clear " History " data and too ALL data.

Then I use " CCleaner " to clear any data that might have been left on my PC. 
It/CCleaner too has settings to clean Firefox's Cache, history, cookies, download history, session and more which use to work very well on clearing all data of web browsing.   That doesn't do it anymore. 
 After all the effort I go through after closing Firefox to delete/eliminate all my browsing history... through the manual tic-buttons IN Firefox... AND with the settings to clear cookies, site data and history upon closing.  PLUS using CCleaner.  
I ALSO close down/disable my 'Wireless Network' modem EVERY TIME I close Firefox  because I've had programs... AV program... that had stupid-non-disabling auto update that would connect... on it's own... to the net and not only check for it's update but downloads updates on every program update-able.
 But with all the work and precautions....
NOW when I click on Firefox to start a whole new session... remember all the moves I take AFTER the last session... It/Firefox asks if I want to continue with my last session and shows the sites I was at the last time.
If there is anyway to get... MY PRIVACY BACK!!! ... I would LOVE to hear about it.
I would LOVE to have my "Firefox 2.0. " back where/when there were no problems.

Hello friends. For some time now, my browser has been constantly redirecting me to the following site: https://winbigdrip.life/?u=63fkp0n&o=uh7pmz8 I have done all the steps mentioned on the internet completely. But my problem is not solved yet. The interesting thing is that when I sync my Firefox account on other devices. Those devices also have the same problem. please guide me.

I'm trying to revert Firefox back to its classical behavior of asking whether and where to save files. Changing "browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel" to FALSE does not work. Even with "Always ask where to save files" in SETTINGS selected. I've found numerous confusing write-ups on the forum.

As many have expressed, the decision to make saving files automatically the default is a TERRIBLE one.

I require a step by step method to change Firefox back to its original behavior concerning saving of files. I've used Firefox since its inception and this is the first time I've ever asked for help. If the current behavior is made an unchangeable default I will likely switch to another browser.

My computer crashed 10 days ago- & my Firefox browser disappeared along with several on screen folders

When I started checking for a reason, the only thing I found, was that my C Drive was almost out of memory

I have recently added the extension Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express. It does not appear on the toolbar. I've looked and tried what was onthe support pages and nothing helps.

Is this an extension that should appear on the toolbar. I am not using private browsing. If it can be on the toolbar, how do I get the thing on it you use? Just a bit frustrated.

Thanks, Irv

About 3 weeks ago I started getting these message windows 'Gah. Your tab has crashed.' I have never seen these before now they're everywhere. I have tried all the Troubleshoot procedures and nothing seems to help. I've done all the cleanups and checked the add-ons but there is nothing new and no changes I am aware of.

Hello,

On Windows chromium-based browsers, the links with linux-style urls : "/path/to/file" are expanded to "/<current device letter>/path/to/file" which can prove pretty handy.

Example: A local "D:\html\index.html" file declaring a '<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/file.js"></script>' will have the "src" expanded to "file:///D:/js/file.js".

Of course on this particular example, it would be easy to use relative paths but "absolute" paths can be useful when referencing shared common files (javascript, css, ...). This way, an html file can be tested locally (without a local server) before being deployed as-is on a server.

Unfortunately, on Firefox there seems to be no such mechanism, unless I have missed something...

Is there any plan to add such a feature?
